Lauren Tabbron writes about the difficulties of spending Christmas away from a loved one.
Nine times out of ten, when I’m having a one-night stand, the guy tries to get away without mentioning protection. Initially I was flattered to think I came across as a clean, safe shag; I never considered the selfishness behind their silence. Not being a great fan of STDs, I was always the one to whip out the condom and attempt to continue the romance (or is that sexual desire?) whilst cling filming the guy’s penis.
The boys in the James Quad, however, seemed to believe that they shouldn’t have to wear a condom as all girls should be on the pill. Ignoring their blatant desire to die a horrible, STD inflicted death, I was also shocked by their arrogance.
If it weren’t for my promiscuity I probably wouldn’t be on the pill – why would I choose to deal with even more hormones? The pill can be very nasty in some cases, and I’m sure my mood swings were considerably less volatile before I began popping. Why should women be the only ones to take precautions? All a condom does is reduce the sensuality of sex. The pill makes you fat, moody and ill. Not fair I say!
Again, not all guys are like this, plenty don’t mind using condoms. This rant is aimed at those of you who try to sneak it in without putting on a sock.
Commerce has made safe sex so much fun. Boots Fun Box condoms contain warming ones that make sex seriously steamy inside and out, cooling ones that tingle strangely similarly to that just brushed teeth feeling, and ribbed ones which create additional friction to drive you wild. They also have some flavoured ones but they’re dyed blue, green and red which just looks weird on an erect penis.
I like adding an element of surprise by not reading what’s on the wrapper – then I can wait and see what I’m going to get. It’s kind of like the Iced Tea ad where the girl kisses the guy and guesses what flavour he drank. But more fun.
So boys, before you slate off condoms, realise that they’re not a punishment, and they can actually make the sex more fun. A lot easier than attempting confusing and sometime painful new sex positions, simply using different condoms can spice up your sex life. And if welfare are giving them out for free, don’t waste them! Safe sex is expensive these days!
This is what cling film's for:

haha that is horrible
How very insightful.
"All a condom does is reduce the sensuality of sex"
Not that condoms shouldn't be used. There are a myriad of good reasons why guys should use them other than the risk of catching a STI, and they should all be highlighted as much as possible. Isn't the sensuality of the act (connecting with your partner both physically and emotionally/ 'being intimate' with them, etc) the whole point of sex and 'making love' though Mademoiselle?
I thought condoms were bad?

It's an infringement on my religious right to ask me to wear a condom, biaaaaaaatch!
